Deadlock detection in Java

Question

Long time ago, I saved a sentence from a Java reference book: \"Java has no mechanism to handle deadlock. it won\'t even know deadlock occurred.\" (Head First Java 2nd E

Answer 1

After so long, i am able to write the simplest example of Deadlock. Comments are welcome.

Class A
{
  synchronized void methodA(B b)
  {
    b.last();
  }

  synchronized void last()
  {
    SOP(“ Inside A.last()”);
  }
}

Class B
{
  synchronized void methodB(A a)
  {
    a.last();
  }

  synchronized void last()
  {
    SOP(“ Inside B.last()”);
  }
}


Class Deadlock implements Runnable 
{
  A a = new A(); 
  B b = new B();

  // Constructor
  Deadlock()
  {
    Thread t = new Thread(); 
    t.start();
    a.methodA(b);
  }

  public void run()
  {
    b.methodB(a);
  }

  public static void main(String args[] )
  {
    new Deadlock();
  }
}
